I’ve been having big writer’s block recently as well, and I’ve been finding that rewriting things that have happened to me is a good way to just slowly inch back towards creativity. often I’ll write about a “what if” situation - like this situation actually happened, but what if the ending was different? what if that friend decided to confront her bf about the cheating and threw out all of his stuff while he was at work? what if I did respond to that random ad I saw in the paper?

The best $25 I spend every month. Literally pays for itself if you see one movie
plus if I see a bad movie I don’t feel like I wasted money

I recently watched The Monkey for free at Chicago's Music Box Theatre — and even stuck around for Perkin's Q&A session. I have to say, it was the best movie-going experience I've ever had. An organist played the score with diabolical cymbals in the background — come on! And the movie was hilarious and equal parts gory!

Staying at the Roxy in NY (formerly the Tribeca Grand) is akin to being on an elegant cruise in Manhattan. It’s my home away from home in the city. Everything is there: from live jazz in the massive atrium lobby with the glass elevator zipping up and down and the divine food and drinks (I recommend the lobster roll and a mescal cocktail) in recessed leather booths shaped like teacups, to the gorgeous red velvet theater below - which offers the best films on screen in Manhattan - curated by the brilliant Illyse Singer. After attending a killer film and fascinating Q&A, retreat to the Django, the speakeasy next door, which stays open til 4AM and is often where the hottest underground music acts play… What else could you ask for?

the FIP station lets you listen live to loads of different genres, with no ads and minimal radio host chat (and when it happens, it’s all in French so it sounds cool anyway). Best way to get out of the music algo and find some new shit!

When someone tells you “I know this place you’d love” in some random country and then you end up going there and try to figure out what about it reminded that person of you

Bonus points if you’re wearing noise cancelling headphones and listening to some moody boards of Canada mix at the same time
